I'm sure there are plenty of good people in Russia. There are plenty of terrible governments around the globe with good people living under them. But the Russian state government really is terrible.

When I said that really I was mocking the Republicans. As I was growing up and even today if you even mention communism or socialism they have the same reaction. It's why I really don't understand them suddenly being against giving aid to Ukraine to fight Russia. We can do it in Afghanistan and it's OK even though later al queda turn against the US, but now that we can openly fund a war against Russia where that isn't an issue suddenly now they don't want to? I don't get it.
